News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Thanks. I did flag, but posted because it seemed like one of those pervasive, subtle sexism things. "Hey, it's HN, we're all men here, right?"

I don't doubt that much of HN's audience will find it interesting, but that seemed like something worth bringing up.

Articles about gender politics in the tech industry have to do with hackers' behavior as they go about their hacking. Articles about masculinity itself (or feminine identity, for that matter) I would consider off-topic to begin with, but a discussion of men's fitness in particular on a software industry forum seems like it reinforces the software industry as a boys club.
